Dracozolt is a hybrid fossil Pokémon. It has a small yellow upper body with two long wings shaped like lightning bolts on its arms. It has a long neck that connects to a raptor-like head with closed eyes and a red spot on each cheek. The upper half is connected to the middle of the lower body, with an orange and yellow circle surrounding the neck. The lower body is colored pink and green. The legs are green with pink toes and stripes and the tail is green with pink stripes and spikes.
Dracozolt is a hybrid fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a small yellow upper body with two long wings shaped like lightning bolts on its arms. Dracozolt has a long neck that connects to a {{wp|Paraves|paravian}}-like head with closed eyes and a red spot on each cheek. The upper half is connected to the middle of the lower body, with an orange and yellow circle surrounding the neck. The lower body is colored pink and green. The legs are green with pink toes and stripes and the tail is green with pink stripes and spikes.


It generates electricity thanks to its powerful tail muscles. It overate its plant-based food sources, causing it to eventually go extinct.
It generates electricity thanks to its powerful tail muscles. It allegedly overgrazed its plant-based food sources, causing it to eventually go extinct, though this is likely not the case due to Dracozolt being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.

* Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, and Arctovish are the only [[fossil]] Pokémon to not be {{type|Rock}} or have a [[gender]].
* Dracozolt, along with the other Galarian fossil Pokémon, was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1319507626372153344 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on October 23, 2020.</ref>
* In the anime, [[Bray Zenn]] is the person who gives Dracozolt its species name.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Dracozolt, like its counterparts, may be based on the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of misassembled dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}. In the case of Dracozolt, its top half appears to be based on a {{wp|Paraves|paravian}}, while its bottom half appears to be based mainly on a {{wp|Stegosauria|stegosaurid}}.
Dracozolt, like its counterparts, may be based on the concept of {{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}} in paleontology, which refers to fossils reconstructed from multiple different species or genus of animals, resulting in an inaccurate and mistaken understanding of the animals's biology. In the case of Dracozolt, its top half appears to be based on a {{wp|Dromaeosauridae|dromaeosaurid}}, while its bottom half appears to be based mainly on a {{wp|Stegosauria|stegosaurian}}. Dracozolt and its counterparts may also reference the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of scientifically inaccurate dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}.
 
The Pokédex entries for all the Galarian fossil Pokémon mention them being the cause of their own extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, stupider, and more sluggish, to the point they couldn't sustain themselves.
 
Dracozolt being unable to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] could be a reference to {{wp|Hybrid_(biology)|cross-bred}} animals, which are born {{wp|Infertility|infertile}} (unable to produce offspring).
